Did the Legionaries Pay John Paul II?
UK
Yesterday Damian Thompson mentioned on his blog, that Cardinal Dziwisz of Krakow, former secretary of John Paul II, is accused by US-author Jason Berry of accepting charitable donations, that smoothed the way for Legionary supporters to attend the private Masses of John Paul II. Benedict XVI abandoned those semi-public occasions when he became Pope. Also, Berry reports that the Pope pushed away one of the Legion’s “charitable” bungs when it was offered to him in an envelope. His puritanical attitude towards money was one of several things that distinguished him from the curial backslappers, who were sometimes surprisingly effective at limiting Cardinal Ratzinger’s access to John Paul II. – Thompson adds.

Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said that in a statistical examination of reports on clerical abuse, the Vatican has found that only 10% of the cases involved true pedophilia (abuse of small children), while 90% were cases of ephebophilia, mostly homosexual abuse of adolescents. He added that 60% of all cases involved same-sex victims.
